PaperArxiv

PaperArxiv is a new paper management tool that helps to organize your mind. It focuses on taking notes, organizing, and archiving your files. Different from existing paper management tools that focus on reference management. PaperArxiv emphasizes on notes organizing as we believe a short note can bring more information to grasp the general idea.

Highlights

• Auto Extraction: It can extract almost all information from pdf files and generate default meta information;
• Portable: all information is stored in one folder and you can put in your cloud disk and take it everywhere;
• Universal Search: You can use its powerful find tool to find whatever you want, tags, names, notes ... No matter what comes into your mind.
